Jack Bechta, the agent for free-agent DE Johnny Jolly (Packers), said his client has been medically cleared by doctors following C-5/C-6 spinal fusion surgery. Green Bay Packers head coach Mike McCarthy has not ruled out the possibility of bringing him back.

The Green Bay Packers are open to re-signing free-agent DE Johnny Jolly (neck). He is rehabbing from neck surgery, and was recently cleared for more extensive workouts. He might be ready in time for training camp if his surgery mends well and X-rays show there is no unusual risk of his spinal cord being damaged.
